Adult Child (어른아이)

Adult Child (어른아이) Lyrics

English Translation

[Rap Monster]
Ah.. I’m 20 now
Now that I’m actually 20.. It’s nothing special
So what am I supposed to do now?

[Chorus: Jin]
I’m 20 (now) and it’s a good day
I’ve become a free body
But what is this, there’s nothing to it I’ve only become an adult
I’ve only become an adult, I’ve only become an adult
I’ve only become an average adult, The average adult is what I’ve become
An adult

[Verse 1: Rap Monster]
Some have gone to whichever college, some have gone off to military service
Some are repeating a grade and some are looking for work
The tender touch of our families, that sweet romance has come at its end
Haste and clumsiness are all what’s left
The weight of being 20, I thought would be like a feather
Now it’s a boulder that pins me down, the regret at age 20
Oh no! All the Peter Pans who’ve freshly jumped out of fairytale books
It must’ve never existed from the start, this Neverland they dream about
A little sense of liberation, a little sense of regret (for an unfulfilled wish or goal)
A little sense of hostility towards this world that’s strange to me
Because I’m now an adult I want to keep a straight face and play it cool
Youth and naivete, they’re both in vain, really
Eyah..Would you look at my lyrics, I’ve matured
A friend who’s been hired is lifting files (T/N: ‘seoryucheol’) instead of being in season (T/N: 'cheol’, literal translation of colloquial phrase for 'growing up’)
I was once a young adult but now I’m an adult child
Mom’s not around to take care of me, I’m skipping meals

[Chorus: Jin]
I’m 20 (now) and it’s a good day
I’ve become a free body
But what is this, there’s nothing to it I’ve only become an adult
I’ve only become an adult, I’ve only become an adult
I’ve only become an average adult, The average adult is what I’ve become
An adult
